A Wing delivery drones can lift 5 lbs and travel upwards of 12 miles at up to 70 mph.

If a single operator can pilot 20 drones simultaneously, delivering say 50+ packages/hour, then it starts to make sense.



Well, as this is about Ireland, EU regulations state that a drone operator may control just a single drone at a time. (So, no simultaneous control.)

How the hell can a single operator pilot 20 at the same time. These aren't uavs, let alone uavs with the ability to navigate congested airspace!
